3 <br />Proposal of Professional Services <br />November 21, 2024 <br />Mr. Jacob Klosinski City of South Bend Utilities IO20246945 <br />After Pinnacle gains access to South Bend Utilities’ registration information and <br />to reduce costs and speed up the review process, Pinnacle will issue a site-specific <br />Request for Information (RFI) prior to arriving onsite. The RFI will contain a list of <br />items South Bend Utilities should prepare for review and provide a copy to <br />Pinnacle as part of the onsite inspection. The list is largely based upon the items <br />identified above and may also include Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams <br />(P&ID) to ensure that the PE has sufficient information during the site visit. <br />Site Visit Requirements <br />The Professional Engineer will conduct the site visit to verify the listed items above <br />and complete the report. The Professional Engineer is required to take digital <br />photographs of the process equipment listed as necessary to produce the <br />renewable fuel and certify that all process unit connections are in place and <br />functioning during the site visit. The digital photographs need to include a <br />date/time stamp and geographic coordinates along with a description of what is <br />included in the photograph. The digital photograph requirement maybe waived <br />due to safety concerns, but EPA may not accept a registration if EPA is unable to <br />determine if the facility is capable of producing the renewable fuel due to lack of <br />sufficient digital photography. <br />Deliverable <br />• At the conclusion of the project, Pinnacle will submit a complete third-party <br />engineering review through EPA’s CDX portal in accordance with EPA <br />procedures. <br />• South Bend Utilities will receive a complete report including the copy of <br />record and confirmation of EPA’s receipt of the report. <br />Schedule <br />• Pinnacle proposes to complete the site visit and report on a schedule <br />agreeable with South Bend Utilities. The current expectation is to complete <br />the site visit before the end of the 2024 calendar year. <br />Cost of Proposed Services <br />Pinnacle is proposing to complete the scope of work defined above on a fixed fee <br />basis for a total cost of $9,250. This cost includes all professional services, <br />expenses, and administrative costs. <br />
